Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your spandex, because Chad Gable’s wrestling saga is reaching its most dramatic chapter yet! As the Olympic hero gears up for a high-stakes bout against Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at Clash at the Castle on June 15, the million-dollar question looms: will he still be a WWE superstar by then, or will he be suplexing his way into the open arms of another wrestling empire?
Our intrepid wrestling guru, Dave Meltzer, dropped a bombshell in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, revealing that WWE has rolled out the red carpet with an “excellent offer” to keep Gable in their ring. But wait, there’s more! AEW is circling like a pack of hungry wolves, eager to pounce the moment Gable’s contract hits its expiration date. Talk about a cliffhanger, folks!
While Gable weighs his options, the AEW brass is reportedly whispering sweet nothings, urging him to join forces with Tony Khan. But legally, they must bide their time, twiddling their thumbs until Gable’s WWE contract goes the way of the dodo.
In the meantime, Gable is laser-focused on his trilogy showdown with Zayn. Their epic saga began at WrestleMania 40 when Zayn dethroned GUNTHER, the seemingly indomitable champ who had previously bested Gable. Fast forward to April 15 on “WWE Raw,” where Zayn scored a hometown victory in Montreal, flipping Gable’s good-guy script. Fueled by revenge, Gable snagged a win in a non-title match on May 20, setting the stage for the ultimate rubber match at Clash at the Castle in Scotland.
So, will Chad Gable stay loyal to WWE, or will he defect to AEW’s bright lights and bold promises? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: this wrestling drama is a nail-biter worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster!
